Neat. I find it interesting that you're encouraged to touch the exhibit at all. Usually that's very discouraged.

It really tickled my funny bone
probably a replica the curators don't mind people touching
I was thinking that or they just have a lot of them.
Wow, they're all pining for the fjords?
why does this look like an ai image
Imagine the smell.
Probably just smells like old upholstery. Taxidermied animals don't really have a smell
Aren’t they just sleeping? Little bird motel? Right? :(
I would be a dick move for them so say "come touch this fake thing". I hope it's not
I completely agree
The only exception would be if there's a sign saying something akin to "This replica was designed to feel exactly like a real fossil bla bla bla"
There are some fossils that were actually casts of the real thing because the actual fossils were too fragile for display
Right? There were a lot of exhibits that promoted touching. I think it was for kids mostly because they were all lower to the ground.
There are a good number of real fossils you can touch.
I expect these are more common and there's not much more scientists can learn from them.
I mean, it's a gigantic million years old fossil, what can some touching do? It probably won't even tip over
This sounds like a humerus activity to try
